Synopsis

void trace_irq_handler_entry (int irq,
 struct irqaction * action);
 

Arguments

irq

irq number

action

pointer to struct irqaction

Description

The struct irqaction pointed to by action contains various information about the handler, including the device name, action->name, and the device id, action->dev_id. When used in conjunction with the irq_handler_exit tracepoint, we can figure out irq handler latencies.
